Hi,
Sorry for the delay in responding to this.
Looking at the patches, they don't seem to fix any regression or
serious bug -- they are more of cleanups and code removals. So I've
pulled them into next/fixes-non-critical for 3.11.
Thanks!

Hi Olof, i must have maken a mistake. i planned you pull this againest
3.10-rc4, then this will be in 3.10-rc5.
so i rebased two critical fixes againest this patchset and planned
them be in rc6:
[PATCH 0/2] ARM: multiple-platforms: fix the kernel panic on non-SiRF platforms
[PATCH 1/2] ARM:prima2: move sirfsoc_of_rstc_init to .init_machine
[PATCH 2/2] ARM:prima2:drop postcore_initcalls in pm module
the above two patches are critical as it blocks non-CSR
multi-platforms, but they are depending on this patchset. so how can
we make this happen?

Hi,
I repled on the 0/2 patch above -- for 3.10 it makes much more sense to make
a more narrow fix that just gracefully fails the initcall if the device node
isn't found, instead of panicking. That's a generally preferred behavior
anyway.
